How to be involved in a research study that may help prevent heart attacks
Perth Children’s Hospital researchers are currently recruiting families for a study into the most common and serious form of inherited high cholesterol called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).The study screens children aged 1-2 years through a simple heel prick blood test at a routine immunisation appointment. Children who are found to have FH are offered expert counselling and specialist treatment at Perth Children’s Hospital.
We are currently recruiting participants at Rheola St Central Immunisation Clinic, Kwinana Community Health Centre, Ellen Health General Practice Fremantle, Balcatta Child Health Centre.
